Jon Stewart sums up the absolutely appalling response to the Joe Paterno firing by students at Penn State this past week pretty clearly, and I think points to a much broader issue of cover-up, denial, lying, etc. by those in power, most often, men in power. He probably could have gone on about this story much longer in the opening segment of the show, but I think it's pretty clear, judging by how unfunny this clip is, how upset he is over the whole situation and chose to keep his response short. This is the kind of anger that should, and rightfully is, down on Occupy Wall Street. Joe Paterno was fired unceremoniously from his job for not taking stronger action against his Assistant Coach for molesting children. Wall Street criminals should be fired for what they have done to our world.
